TL;DR: A high level of biodiversity among MRSA, especially among strains harbouring SCCmec IV and V elements is shown, and the data indicate a high rate of genetic recombination in MRSA involving SCC elements, bacteriophages or other mobile genetic elements and large-scale chromosomal replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for the Opportunistic Pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
TL;DR: Comparison of the results of MLST with those of toxA typing and serotyping revealed that strains with identical STs may possess different toxA types and diverse serotypes, which reveals the strength of the MLST approach for obtaining a better understanding of the epidemiology of P. aeruginosa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel path to apoptosis: small transmembrane pores created by staphylococcal alpha-toxin in T lymphocytes evoke internucleosomal DNA degradation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that alpha-toxin-damaged T lymphocytes became permeable to both Ca2+ and propidium iodide, but not to Na+ ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A guide to the use of pore-forming toxins for controlled permeabilization of cell membranes
TL;DR: Tetanolysin currently offers advantages since it is protease-free, and the size of the pores can probably be controlled by varying the toxin dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid PCR-Based Identification of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Screening Swabs
TL;DR: A PCR identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, obviating the need for subculture on agar media, was investigated, and PCR identified 36 MRSA-positive samples, in concordance with conventional methods.
